Discrimination Lawsuit: KCPD

In a current discrimination lawsuit against the Kansas City Police Department, four male applicants for a position in the K-9 department allege they were discriminated against based on their sex. Sex discrimination in the workplace involves treating an applicant or employee unfavorably because of that person’s sex. The discrimination lawsuit filed by the labor lawyers alleges the police department is seeking more diversity and thus awarded the only female applicant the position, despite her low performance on a practical skills exam and minimal attendance at training sessions. Employment discrimination based on sex can affect both men and women, ranging from hiring and firing decisions to determining who receives promotions or additional training.
